By freeing the user from the cord, personal communications networks, wireless LAN's, mobile radio networks and cellular systems, harbor the promise of fully distributed mobile computing and communications, any time, anywhere. Numerous wireless services are also maturing and are poised to change the way and scope of communication. The journal will fill an existing gap by focusing on the networking and user aspects of this field. It will provide a single common and global forum for archival value contributions documenting these fast growing areas of interest. The journal will publish refereed articles dealing with research, experience and management issues of wireless networks. Its aim will be to allow the reader to benefit from experience, problems and solutions described. Regularly addressed issues will include: Network architectures for Personal Communications Systems, wireless LAN's, radio, tactical and other wireless networks, design and analysis of protocols, network management and network performance, network services and service integration, nomadic computing, internetworking with cable and other wireless networks, standardization and regulatory issues, specific system descriptions, applications and user interface, and enabling technologies for wireless networks. The journal will also publish special issues devoted to topics of particular interest to the readers. Proposals for special issues can be submitted to the Editor-in-Chief. Article submission: Manuscripts must be submitted in five copies to the Editor-In-Chief: Professor I. Chlamtac, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering University of Massachusetts, Amherst MA 01003, USA All manuscripts will be refereed. The final decision of publication will be taken by the Editor-In-Chief. Manuscripts for publication must be written in English and typed double-spaced on one side of the page only with wide margin. They must begin with the title, the authors' names and addresses, and a self-contained abstract. The same manuscript must not be submitted, in any language, for publication elsewhere. The copyright of a paper accepted for publication transfers automatically to the Publisher. 25 reprints will be made available free of charge to authors. After acceptance of their paper, authors are invited to send a diskette with the TEX (or LATEX or AMS-TEX) source of their paper together with a hard copy including the letter of acceptance to the Editor-in-Chief.
